11. An aside while we wait: Remember that in the last few days
Armitage apologized for torture? I saw the clip of him doing the interview. He looks sick -- puffy and pale and unwell. fyi.

6. Per msnbc, they're out
The bushies didn't think waterboarding was torture

what sweethearts




getting thrown around the room

being put in boxes with live bugs




I really would like to see some of these motherfuckers in jail before I die.




And I do not mean CIA guys. I do mean the motherfuckers pulling the strings.



I am not happy that President Obama seems disinclined to go after them.

Waterboarding represented a "threat of imminent death" to a terrorism suspect but the interrogation technique did not constitute torture because there was no evidence it caused lasting mental harm, according to a 2002 U.S. Justice Department legal memo released on Thursday.

The memo also approved interrogation techniques included placing an insect into a suspect's "confinement box," slapping, sleep deprivation and shoving a suspect into a wall.

7. Yeah, I read them...
...they're all about how we didn't actually waterboard anyone. We just threw fluffy bunnies at them until they couldn't take it anymore. Several bunnies lost their lives in the mission and now PETA is all up in arms at the government and are planning their own blood-bagging parties.
